Post subject:  install is getting too easy - PIP question

I ebay'ed a second 250 for $80 without really researching the version of the board.

within 10 minutes, I had opened case, installed card, configed card and input source and was watching PIP.

Nice!

Once I got this running i when to MythWeb to figure out key bindings related to PIP. Can someone please tell me the difference between these two commands:

Code:
TV Playback TOGGLEPIPWINDOW   Toggle active PiP window 
TV Playback SWAPPIP           Swap the PiP window channels


SWAPPIP - did what I expected it to do...the images on the screen traded places....the TOGGLEPIPWINDOW didnt do anything that I could notice while watching the screen.

Swap will of course swap the windows. If you want to change channels on the PiP (smaller one), you have to toggle.

ah, let me see if I understand..if I have channel 1 in big screen and channel 99 in PIP window...

entering '99' will change the big screen from 1 to 99

entering 'toggle' '77' will change PIP window to 77 (without the need to swap),

Thanx!

If you haven't upgraded/installed R5A15, you should. The new ivtv for PIP is perfectly smooth (in previous ivtv's I installed myself it was a little jerky). Not only that, but I left both 250's in my box when I installed R5A15 and it recognized and setup both of them, with no manual changing of any files.

well, I havent upgraded yet. Im on R4V5, i was planning on waiting in R5V1.

PIP seems pretty smooth and install was perfect w/o any manual file mods.

Anyway to resize (i.e. make bigger) the inset picture
